2 Claims. (Cl. 239-444)
This invention relates >to a spray valve, and more
particularly to a spray valve which can he manually oper
ated to control the ñow of fluid outwardly through a
pair of outlet conduits or nozzles.
The object of this invention is to provide a spray valve
which includes a member that is adapted to be connected
to a single source of supply of chemical or liquid, and
